Hi there,
I bought a q9400 at 2.66ghz. (FSB 333 x multiplier 8)
I bumped up the voltage and FSB till I was stable with safe temps at 3.44 ghz. (FSB 430 x multiplier 8)
I then set my RAM multiplier to 2.66D, which resulted in a RAM frequency of 1143mhz. (It is capable of running up to 1333mhz.)
These 2 changes resulted in a FSB : DRAM ratio of 3:4.
Finally, I have an 8800GT at stock speeds.
So the real problem:
Before over-clocking, I was getting between 20-30 FPS in Super Mario Galaxy.
After over-clocking, I am getting the exact same numbers.
Is something bottlenecking another component? I understand hardware can only go so far, when the software still hasn't been perfected, but I've gotten to a decent over-clock, with absolutely no performance gain. Any idea why?
